I booked this guest house for my mums birthday. My mums birthday was in February, unfortunately due to an accident I had. I wasn't able to do something nice for my mums 70th. I said to my mum we will go away for a few days My mum wanted to go to windermere for a few days. I booked this guest house only because I was either looking for a twin room, although we would have shared a double room if needs be. The room available was a family room, so I booked it. On arrival, we were greeted with the owner. Who showed us up to our room. Which was at the top of the building. I was worried about climbing the stairs, after my accident I hadn't climbed stars. However, I managed ok. The room was small, although it was clean. My mum took the double bed, and I took the single. On each side, if the double bed was bedside drawers. They wasn't anything next to the single bed. I had to put my cups of tea on the floor. They were an extension plug socket. To put your own charger in. In our room, they were a form we had to fill out and leave downstairs ready for breakfast the next morning. Even though we did this. They still couldn't get our breakfast right. They had to ask us what we wanted. I thought we had put down what we wanted. The tables were a bit close together, and I found it difficult to get in and out. When I wanted to get up to help myself to coffee or cereal. The guest house is on a main road, with a good open top hop on bus service. That runs every 20 minutes. It's a 25/ 30-minute walk to the lake. They are a few shops close by and there are plenty of places to eat and drink. The train station is a few minutes' walk away, with a bus station. If you fancy a bus ride to somewhere else. We didn't have a car so the bus to kendal. Made a change. If we go to windermere again, I would look at better hotels or guest houses. We enjoyed our few days at windermere and the weather was lovely

Beautiful hotel and just a few minutes walk to shops,bars and restaurants. The room named the mews that we stayed in was outstanding. Lovely comfortable bed with very nice bedding and super comfy pillows. The room was huge and had a lovely outside area to sit and relax. Breakfast was very nice as was the setting of the dining room. Staff super friendly especially Emily on reception nothing to much trouble and she made you feel very welcome. Every hotel needs an Emily!! Can’t wait to return .

Good bits: our suite was very nice and the breakfast food on offer was good even though you had to come down at a prearranged timeslot. The bad is that the overall management of this hotel, in our experience, was very poor. There were multiple occasions (in just 2 days) when what was arranged and agreed was just not acted upon. Here's some examples: On arrival a member of staff kindly reserved a breakfast table for 4 the following morning (as we were staying with another couple) but it was taken by somebody else when we came down so we had to assume this information wasn't passed to the breakfast team. We then arranged for seating for 5 people at breakfast the following morning - different staff member said that was fine and made a note of the room numbers - yet again this wasn't done and when we asked them to make up an unoccupied table set up for 4 to a 5 (plenty of room to add another chair ) this was refused. Weeks before arriving our friends had asked for their room to be set up as a twin rather than a double but of course that hadn't been done either. We asked for our room not to be serviced during our 2 night stay yet the first morning staff knocked to come in when my partner was on the toilet - again relevant details not passed on. We were told we had reserved parking spot at the rear of the property but parking was a free-for-all. The reception area seemed to be locked up and unmanned most of the time. Yes, there was a bell to ring, but you'd expect a member of staff to be visible especially in the mornings. Finally, whilst most staff were friendly and polite, one senior staff member was off-hand when dealing with a simple request (and we overheard her being brusque with another couple). Her attitude was unpleasant and gave the impression that customers were really a bit of a nuisance. Maybe we just picked a bad weekend so whilst it wasn't a totally awful stay by any means there was enough incidents over a short period to put us off staying there again or recommending it to anyone if it continues to be run in this slack and unprofessional way. I do worry for its future.

Very cozy little hotel, run by a Chinese couple, very friendly and welcoming. I studied here, came here for a holiday, and settled on this hotel. Although I feel that the house is more chronological, the real number is very well preserved, the decoration is exquisite, clean and tidy, and the details are great. It is only 5 minutes walk from the train station. The town is not big. It is also very convenient to go to other towns on foot or by bus. I booked a single room, the decoration made people feel comfortable and warm, and the hygiene was great. I must call for breakfast. I have been in the UK for a month. This is the best meal I have ever moved. Overall highly recommended

This hotel is great. The location is very convenient, just a minute walk from the train station. The surrounding environment is very quiet, living on the second floor, the front of the large green lawn, the scenery is beautiful, surrounded by villas with good views. It is not far to the scenic spot. It takes 20 minutes to walk to the pier. You can go by boat and take a small train. I will bring friends to live in the future.

What can I say about this wonderful little place, that hasn’t already been said? We visited here on Sunday, for the pre booked 3 course Sunday Lunch and we’re so glad that we did! Our joint of beef was cooked to perfection! The vegetables and trimmings were delicious! The parsnip and pear soup and white onion soup were stunning and the desserts were super. The staff were friendly and polite and their customer service was great. Take my advice and visit here, you won’t be disappointed!

We have just returned from a 3 night stay for our anniversary. Beutiful building grounds well looked after. Great parking facilities, great location Staff are warm and welcoming and certainly not stuffy which is sometimes a problem when staying in a country house. Bar is superb beautifully decorated comfy with a lovely open fire crackling away. Our room, room 1 is a four poster room with views of the mere lovely old room not best location directly adjacent to stairs but none the less we loved it. Food we ate at the hotel on 2 evenings in both restaurants and the food is fantastic not a huge menu but something for everyone. Breakfast was great and we ate alone every morning 🙈🙈 due to being early risers. Location is also great bus stop at end of driveway so gateway to the lake district at your door we parked the car up when we arrived and never used it the rest of the time. The beutiful Highland cows at the end of the drive is a lovely welcome and we stopped by daily for a chat. All in all we had a great warm stay with lovely welcoming staff great food and drinks within lovely surroundings we will be back.

It's a classic case of staying somewhere you've stayed before that has changed hands and gone downhill. Apart from the generous off road parking everything has changed for the worst. The person on the check in desk, who we only saw once during our 3 night stay, seemed uninterested apart from handing over the key to the room. The room was adequate at best not dirty but not spotless either. Breakfast each day was a bit shambolic, constantly running out of hot water for tea and coffee, bread for toast and fresh orange juice. We actually felt sorry for the girl doing the breakfast service as one person had no chance of serving so many guests efficiently. We were able to find out that the hotel had become part of a group and was obviously being as cheaply as possible. We wont be staying again and would not recommend it to anyone which is a shame as it has been a very nice place to stay in the past.
